Tho Anti SaIoon Movcncnt-A strong
Appeal.
4 special committee of the New York
temperance league, at the head of which
is Judge Noah II Davis, has issued an adj
dress setting forth the intentions of the
anti-saloon republicans. The league be
lieveS the republican party alone is capa-
bic of welding the great moral issue of
temperance and adjusting it safely and
happily. Ii asks only that the Republican
party shall boldly plant itself on plat
form of open hostility to the saloon and
the appalling evils its existence has in
ncted on the nation" 1t points out that
1.-THE democratic party has as its chief
ally the liquor saloon, without which it
would he more powerless against the re
publican party to-day than at the end of
the war OF the rebellion" Republicans
are earnestly urged to aid temperance leg
islation and the third party men are
called to account for making al alliance
with the saloon keepers in their fight for
continued low license. The address says /:
The national conference lof anti saloon
republicans ks only that the Republi-
can party shall boldly plant itself on a
platform of open hostility to the saloon
and the appalling evils its existence is
iutlictlhg upon the nation. Why should
the party hesitate to take that ground
Is not the evil broad and deep enough to
demand the step? Are not the crimes
pauperism, sin and shame, misery and
brutality universal enough to Justify it (?
Are not the taxes the saloon imposes, the
wages 1t devours, the homes il DESTROYS,
l,,, /
dens and embitters, the communism and
anarchy it teaches, and the religion and
morality it brushes, worth enough as "A
question of political economy or nigh
enough as one of duty to invoke the heroic
remedy of party action
But ii the salvation of the county from
these mOustrous evils be not an adequate
motive for the action of party whose
patriotism and devotion have saved the
life of the nation, let il rest then upon the
narrower motive Of its own existence
The democratic party is its powerful
antagonist. The chief ally of that party
Is the liquor saloon, without which it
would be more pOwerless against the Re
publican party of to-day than at any hour
during the war of the Rebellion. 1t is
willing blindness to shut our eyes to this
truth, as it is folly to hope that the saloon
will not stand by the party in whom all
its hopes of existence or chances of sue
